I DIE

I recently posted my review of Run the Risk by Lori Foster her newest book that comes out next month and who liked my review on Goodreads? None other than Lori Foster herself!! Now at this point in my day you must insert my huge grin, wild flapping of hands and the odd look on my husband's face as I try to explain why I'm acting like a lunatic.

So in honor of Lori making my day I feel the need to say that she is hands down one of my favorite romance writers. Her books are the ones I have on my Nook and my Nook app and in paperback- just to cover all bases. Hers are the ones I've read 5-6 times each and love them more each time.

I even remember my first Lori Foster book - Back in Black which is the 5th book the her SBC fighters series.

I admit the cover is what made me pick up the book ;) but her characters made me fall in love. I went back and got the first in the series and read them straight through.

My next series of hers was the Buckhorn Brothers and it did not disappoint. She write such rich characters that you can't help but feel like you know them after a few pages. I wanted to go to the town where they lived and explore the world she created.

I've read all her single titles and anthologies. I loved her Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor Series, the Winston Brothers and Visitation series.

She also is very good about wrapping a series up, not making it linger too long which we all know is my pet peeve. She doesn't fall into the 10-15 book series trap. She gets in there, writes a solid series and ends it before it gets stale or repetitive. Just one of the many reasons I adore her writing.

The men in her books make you swoon, they get your heart racing and make you sigh. She can fit the most unlikely of pairs together and somehow make them fit in the most wonderful of ways.

Yes, this entry has been full on gushing about Lori, I realize that. But come on..... it's LORI FOSTER!

I hope the next time you're out shopping and you see one of her books, you'll remember this insane blog entry and pick it up. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you again! I hope my books never disappoint you. But if they do, I hope you forgive me and try another one anyway. LOL

I totally agree with EVERYTHING you said. I however was money poor and decided to go to the library to down load a book from there. I saw the cover to Back In Black too *wipes drool from chin* and hoped the book was as good as the cover. I became an instant Lori Foster addict! She is truly one of the greats, all of her books are golden.
